I dunno about inspiring poems, but if I hear that "road less traveled by" shit one more time...
Desiderata? It's not exactly a poem, I suppose.
Be not afraid...

A man said to the universe, "sir, I exist!"
And the universe replied, "That fact has not instilled in me a sense of obligation."

My knowledge of poetry seems to have a dearth when it comes to inspiring poetry. All I can think of at the moment is "The Charge of the Light Brigade", which is probably more depressing than inspiring. Or perhaps:
We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring,
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Had my ceremony, got a badass pen set or two.
But yeah, you guys can do as you please.

Right, I need to come up with something for the back of my Eagle Ceremony program, and I'm drawing a blank. I figured I'd sacrifice speed for fewer links to "There Once was a man from Nantucket..."
Oh, and we can discuss them or something. BV
